i love 0909 sm. This vent analysis was written exactly a day before Mikoto T3, so... um... sorry for any inconsistencies if there are any!! My writing isn't perfect, and honestly, it was created to analyze John's behavior. Overall, I just tried, and I actually really like 0909 and I can't live without them... They have such cute arts, and I'm so sad that Mikoto's case was essentially ruined. I apologize in advance for any poor quality or incomprehensible comments... By the way, I'm very upset that John showed up two days ago. Is that... weird? 100 days of stress at work can't cause DID, and as they said, he had a good childhood, so the "childhood trauma" theory can be safely dismissed. Overall, I'm very sad, and I really love 0909 ((
Mikoto, like a mechanism – "It matters to me how people perceive me." This is a social approval mechanism. It is important to him how he is perceived. He picks his words: "I don't think I've gotten angry before. Isn't it kind of disgraceful to get angry?", "Have you ever had a lover? : Of course I have. Do I really look that unpopular?", "Tell us what you hate. Staying up all night working / reptiles / violence". It is especially interesting that he hates violence. John's words about him: "He's not the type of person who could do stuff like that! He always looks out for others, always reads the room, always tries to get along with people around him! He can't do stuff like that… He was on the verge of exploding! That's why I was born. It's terrible, isn't it? My other self didn't do anything!".
And now let's remember about John... He sees violence as a way to solve a problem. And what is a problem for him? Something that threatens Mikoto. Let's look at his answers to the questions (there are not many of them, unfortunately...):
What is violence to you? — I WANTED TO HELP HIM.
What is something you can't forgive? — THINGS THAT TROUBLE MIKOTO.
Is there something that you would protect at the cost of your life? — MIKOTO'S LIFE.
From here, we see that he is ready to do anything as long as Mikoto is... happy? "If Mikoto is happy without me, then I'm ready to disappear."
Es: With a psychiatric evaluation, there's a chance of a reduced sentence, but depending on the number of victims… the death penalty might be inevitable.
J: …! I– I'm the one who did it! Mikoto was just sleeping!
(Just so you understand, here he takes all the blame ON HIMSELF. Meaning he is capable of recognizing guilt and responsibility.)
Es: “A sin committed by another personality isn't a sin”… you're telling me that's how I should judge?
J: Yeah. If you forgive Mikoto… I'll disappear.
He turned himself into a function. It's like he doesn't even allow the thought that he has a separate self. IF MIKOTO DOES NOT NEED PROTECTION → YOU CAN DISAPPEAR. In short. His lines overall can be summarized as one phrase: "My job is to protect." He is so fixated on this that he shifts any question back to Mikoto. He asked Es about how it would be under the law, and then...
J: I'm the one who did it! Mikoto didn't do it! You know that because of MILGRAM! I don't care about the law, I want to know what you think!
Es: …
J: Please… forgive Mikoto. I'm the one who did it.
John about violence is: "If it helps Mikoto, then it's right."
About "Is there something that you would protect at the cost of your life? MIKOTO'S LIFE.": now I'll switch the language from cold to casual a bit... The guy literally does not put himself as a priority. His priority is Mikoto. Mikoto's safety. He doesn't think about himself at all. From these questions, you can understand that he didn't really include himself in his own system of priorities, which proves even more that he made a function out of himself. Actually, not that he made it, rather he formed himself as a function. If you ask what he is WITHOUT Mikoto, there will be no answer. He will simply disappear if Mikoto no longer needs him. If Mikoto no longer needs protection – the shield's function is over. As we know, "at the cost of your life?" means losing your life. That is, he is ready to protect Mikoto, even if he has to disappear afterwards. He understands this. And he accepts it. This is what it means when a person dissolves into another person so much that they don't even think that an independent identity exists without them.
Some phrases that I wanted to insert because they also explain well what I wanted to convey:
About Mikoto: Here, anger is perceived not just as an emotion, but as something shameful.
If an action leads to helping Mikoto, it receives justification.
His (John's) system of coordinates is set up through Mikoto.
Thanks for reading! I'd be really happy if you could write me something about this on discord !! In general, I'd be happy to read other people's theories or analyses, I have nothing better to do, so yes... I really love 0909 SORRY IF I'M BORING YOU OUT!!
